Chapter 69: The Ito Family

The sky was dark and gloomy, and the rain was pouring down.

The Land of Rain, somewhere in a town.

Braving the pouring rain, Ito entered a luxurious mansion, Ito was a noble man of fourth generation, and the first to do so was his great-grandfather Ryuichi Ito, who was the Imperial History Minister of the Land of Rain.

His grandfather was also the secretary to the chief minister at the time, and the Ito family was one of the most powerful and economically powerful political families in the country of rain.

The Takyi family, Mitara Ito, has only been in his twentieth century, but he has become one of the few governors of this country of rain that can be called a big city.

"Young Master Junliang!"

The old butler Ito, who was tall but a little thin because of his age, stepped forward and bowed and greeted:

"Master, I'm waiting for you in the bookstore!"

Minara Ito nodded and carefully opened the door in front of him. Walked in slowly, and did a good job of etiquette.

"Father!"

The old man in the official uniform of the official family, standing in front of the desk, was still holding a brush in his hand, as if he was writing something, after hearing the question, he didn't look back, and asked lightly: "Junliang, come all the way here, is there anything wrong?" ”

Looking at the old man's back, Ito Jiliang couldn't help but feel his heart jump, although this old man was his father and he was old and had a son, but Ito Jiliang didn't show much fatherly love for his father in his memory.

Instead, he is more like a strict boss, a teacher, and since he became governor a year ago, his father has become more strict with him.

"Father, the land of rain suddenly asked ninjas to assist the people in farming and production a few months ago, and in the last week, a new ninja training school has been opened in the capital of Rain Ninja Village, and I am a little worried......"

"Oh? What are you worried about? Hearing this, the old man turned his head and looked at Ito with majestic lion-like eyes.

Although the old man has long since retired from politics, he only asks about state affairs, but he still has great political influence in the country, and he usually likes to wear official uniforms, obviously he doesn't want to leave the political arena so neatly as he appears on the surface.

"Are you worried that they'll wipe us out and replace us?"

Without waiting for Ito to answer, the old man put down his pen, wiped his hands with a handkerchief, and said lightly.

Ito was silent, apparently agreeing with the old man's words.

"Junliang, you sit down first!" The old man pointed to the seat next to him, and said slowly: "I have also heard about what has happened in the past few months, ninjas assist in national production, in my opinion, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages for this country, but for the bureaucracy, it is not necessarily!" ”

Ninjas assisted the production of the people, and the income of the various towns and administrative districts increased, which was naturally good for them as officials, at least temporarily.

But the old man knew that the man in the capital was not just for the ninjas to assist in production, the second step was to give the land to the ninjas.

The last step is probably to completely replace ordinary people with ninjas for production, although it sounds fantastical, but the old man is very sure that this guy's purpose is this.

Once this happens, it may seem that these officials can also benefit from the rapidly expanding production resources, but in reality they may not.

In the past, they could oppress ordinary people and plunder their wealth under various names, even in the open, but what if the object was replaced by ninjas?

Lao Tzu's hard work, you dare to touch Lao Tzu's things, die, dog official!

The husband was furious, and blood splattered three feet!

The old man saw it very thoroughly.

"That's exactly what I'm worried about!"

Ito Minara nodded and said precariously.

"Junliang, what do you think of our current Lord of the Land of Rain, the one who calls himself "God"! The old man asked slowly.

Ito was taken aback, and after a moment of silence: "Don't dare to say anything." ”

"Heh..."The old man smiled lightly and said indifferently, "He's a ninja!" ”

"Hanzo calls himself a demigod, he is even more arrogant and calls himself a god, but they are all ninjas!"

"Ninjas are just tools for war and killing, although they have absolute power, but they have lost our support, and they can't even maintain basic social operations, ninjas are obviously just butcher knives for the country, but there are many unrealistic idealists among them, Hanzo is, and so is that guy now!"

"But we can't do without them as idealists, without them ninjas, the security of this country cannot be guaranteed, and we cannot protect our wealth."

"In the same way, without peasants to farm, everyone in this country will starve to death, and without us officials to maintain order, the country will be in chaos!"

"Now this guy is trying to replace the farmer with a ninja, the craftsman!"

"Junliang, are you afraid of farmers and artisans?"

"Don't be afraid!"

Ito Jira shook his head and immediately replied.

"Are you afraid of ninjas, then?"

Ito was silent, looking at his appearance, the old man had already understood the answer in his heart, and sighed.

"yes, who isn't afraid of ninjas? Super physical fitness, weird ninjutsu illusions, in the face of a lower ninja, all need to be well-trained, more than ten soldiers, armed with strong crossbows and strong bows to compete with them. ”

This is still based on the situation of forbearance under that name, if he uses ninjutsu, even if it is only the most basic stealth technique, not to mention a ten-person squad, even a hundred are soldiers, ordinary people who can't see through it with the naked eye can only be captured and sit and wait to be killed in the face of an undetectable enemy.

"The Land of Rain is a small country with few people and few resources, and that person wants to use the power of ninjas to improve the situation in this country, to a certain extent, I admire his strategic vision and courage very much!"

"Not to mention that there are not so many ninjas in the Land of Rain to produce, even if all the ninjas replace the farmers and craftsmen, our family's status and finances no longer need to be like those nouveau riche families to obtain resources by squeezing the bitter people!"

Ito Jiliang nodded, thoughtful, and the old man decided to make it clear in one go: "So, what you're worried about is what we will do if those ninjas learn to govern the country?" ”

Ito Mira's face changed, his fists clenched, and he said in a deep voice: "That's exactly what I'm worried about, Father-sama!" ”

"If the peasants can't pay enough taxes, they will be punished by the state and have to sell their land to ensure their survival!"

"Ninjas can't complete their tasks, then they can't get paid, seriously, they will even lose credibility, and in order to save their credibility, ninjas will have to pay a heavy price, such as the white fang of Konoha!"

The old man knocked on the table and said lukewarmly.

This is a shackle that countries around the world use on the heads of ninjas, and ninjas must abide by such rules in order to survive.

Ninjas who don't follow the rules either die or become traitors and live a wanted life.

"Now that guy dares to risk the world's condemnation and try to let the ninja replace the farmer, or even the official, without our help, all good!"

"The people of the five major countries will kill that guy as soon as possible!"

"Of course, if that guy can survive the siege of the five major powers, then we should think about how to stand in line!"

The old man looked at the family photo on the wall and sighed.

Their family has always been on the side, and his father chose to support Hanzo in the Hanzo era for the first time.

And himself, when the blue-haired woman first appeared, when everyone was still watching, the old man led the family to take refuge.

Thanks to this, the political status and influence of the Ito family in the Land of Rain have gradually ranked in the top three.

If it weren't for the fact that their family has always been low-key and cautious since they came to power, otherwise through these two correct positions, the Ito family would have even become the most powerful and economically powerful family in the Land of Rain.

"Junliang, you should go back, otherwise, the gods and divine envoys will have other thoughts about our family!" Turning his head, the old man looked at his son with blazing eyes, waved his hand, and motioned for his son to leave.

"Thank you, Father!"

Ito Mikara bowed, slowly retreated, and when he reached the door, he bowed again, and was about to turn and leave.

"Junliang, let's marry another wife!"

Ito Jiliang stopped, his eyes drooped slightly, and he said respectfully, "Yes, Father!" ”

Although he already has a wife, for his status, it is not a big problem to marry another wife.

What his father really wanted to tell him was to marry a ninja and give birth to a child with ninja talent.

Be prepared for future events!

Once that so-called "god" succeeded in fulfilling his absurd ideals.

Then, the child with the talent of ninja in Ito will be his heir.

The heir of the entire Ito family!

In order to show the Ito family's loyalty to that "god".

Mitara Ito decided to give his kid a nice, loud name.

Makoto Ito!
